Oreo crept up behind the DJ. "Suprise!" she whispered into his ear. "I decided to come with you!"

"Really? That's great!" Octavio said. However, he was being fooled, as Oreo was now Agent 4 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon. Her mission was to take down Octo Valley from the inside. She checked that she had the Calamari Inkantation on CD in her bag. It was still there, under the invisibility pouch that she had invented. It was there. Good. She started to hum it, before stopping herself. She did not need to be ratted out. Not yet.

"Anyway, what's going to happen when I get to Octo Valley?" Oreo cautiously asked.

"You'll get your own lab, your movements will be monitored and you can be our top engineer!" Octavio said, using the age old trick of speaking in sandwiches.

"Wait.. WHAT?" she yelled.

"We can't leave someone who betrayed us before to do what they like. Especially since, well, the New Squidbeak Splatoon."

Oreo faked ignorance, making Octavio explain what he knew, while she tapped a pen against her leg.

"So anyway, I was just trying to find the kettle the inklings use.. GYAH HA HA! But back to Octo Valley. You just need to follow the trail of ink," the somewhat goofy DJ finished.

"Ok.." Oreo replied. She tried to turn into an octopus, but realised that her ink colour at present was green. That was why the DJ had looked at her suspiciously. Oops. She shot her own trail of ink, feeling somewhat uneasy about having the same ink colour as that twisted octopus. She then started to swim, thinking about the code she would need to bypass to make the broadcast system play the Calamari Inkantation. And what programming language would it be? What was the hardware like? As she drew near to Octo Valley, she changed into her humanoid form, and put her ear defenders on. The NSS (New Squidbeak Splatoon) was prepared for Octavio's music.

But then she realised that it was actually nicer with ear defenders on. As a bonus, they doubled as headphones, so she plugged in her music player and listened to the Calamari Inkantation.

At Octo Valley

Oreo gasped at the lab that she'd been shown to. It was more beautiful to her than the Mona Lisa. An army of Bunsen burners, a regiment of test tubes, a platoon of test tube holders - it was heaven. She looked at her sparkling 3D printers, the biggest 3m³ and the smallest 0.5m³. She set to work immediately, filled with ideas. She grabbed a notebook out of a drawer filled with them, scribbling down ideas. Exploring weapons, backfiring chargers, rollers that sucked up ink, Squee-Gs that didn't like inkling ink, you name it. And of course, a hacking device that she could plug into one of the InkBook pros. Oreo knew that after seeing all this she wouldn't be sane, so she called Marie quietly.

"Agent 4! I'm so glad that you got there okay! Any ideas?" Marie whispered. In response, she held the notebook up to the camera on her phone, watching Marie stare. After a moment of brief discussion about the lab, Marie made the decision to make the weapons first, then to hack the system. However, Oreo first decided to make a couple pillows and blankets for the bed that was in her living quarters. She located the sewing machines and made some devices so that they could run automatically, and put in the fabric that she had found. She held her ear defenders on tightly, as she didn't like all the sounds of the machinery working away.

When they were done, Oreo checked the secret pockets she had stitched in. Pretty much invisible unless you knew about them. She hid her CD and phone in her blanket's pocket. After that, she put her PJs on and passed out in her bed as soon as she got in.

- In the morning

She woke up, expecting to hear Marie nagging at her or the sounds of Callie making breakfast. Instead, silence. It was more deafening than an explosion. So she made some noise, playing some music by Off The Hook on her alarm and humming along. She brushed her teeth with her hovering toothbrush which she had made in Inkopolis.

Breakfast was easy. She put some bread in the toaster, putting on some modifications to butter the bread. But wait- where were her ear defenders?

She ran around, her toothbrush clattering to the floor and breaking and her toast burning while she searched desperately for her ear defenders.

"WHERE DID I LEAVE THEM?!"

she yelled to no-one. Then she realised that she had left them in the secret pocket in her blanket. She ran and shoved them on. But walking back, she remembered that her toast had burnt and her toothbrush was broken. "Oh." She made a mental note to 1) be more careful and 2) stop talking to herself.

"This is going brilliantly." Oreo said to herself.

Hi! Sorry this chapter is shorter than the last one, I wanted to get this out wayy before my personal deadline (once a fortnight) so that I'd have plenty of time to work on the next one and do my homework. Thanks for reading my first fanfic, and I'd really appreciate any feedback!
